Jamie Sterling, P.Geo. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Joel Kliner, P.Eng. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Charles Hunt, P.Eng. – Tetra Tech EBA Inc. Paper prepared for presentation at the “Emergency Repair & Reconstruction Transportation of Infrastructure Damaged by Catastrophic Environmental Events” Session (519B) of the 2014 Conference of the Transportation Association of Canada, Montreal, Quebec ABSTRACT Waterton National Park is in southwestern Alberta, it is the southernmost National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. On June 19, 2013, over a 24 hour period, between 60 mm and 125 mm of rain fell (rainfall records provided by Parks Canada for the Akamina and Waterton Warden Office) on the steep mountain sides adjacent to the Akamina Parkway triggering catastrophic flooding, landslides, debris flows and debris floods. The widespread impacts from the various natural hazards resulted in severe impacts to the roadway and severed access to Akamina Lake, Cameron Lake and the associated nearby hiking and camping areas. The flooding and damage as experienced by the city of Calgary, during the same precipitation event, is described by the Government of Alberta as the worst in its recorded history. The Parkway is located in a geomorphically active mountainous area subject to regular flooding and debris flow events. The processes that led to the road damage were primarily related to inadequate control of debris and water passage at eight locations. Tetra Tech EBA was retained by Parks Canada, through their emergency services contractor, Maglio Installations, to provide emergency analyses and design guidance for remediation and mitigation along the Parkway.
